Question: Is there a significant difference between the volume of dust in air-conditioned versus non-air-conditioned dorms?

Early Prediction: There will be less dust in air-conditioned rooms.

Preliminary Research Design:
Take samples in several rooms, at several times, for several lengths of times, using the same filter, fan size, and speed.
We will weigh the filters in a plastic bag before and after each experiment. If the department has any tools used to filter,
and we will need to use a scale which measures to the 0.001 gram.
